China is one of the major importers of cobalt and refines cobalt in its refining plants. In order to achieve stable cobalt assets, Chinese companies are increasingly spending in cobalt mines and are engaging in cobalt smelting initiatives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The cobalt consumption of the country is expected to grow further in the coming years due to the rise in demand for consumer electronics, which use cobalt-based batteries. Other major cobalt producing countries include Cuba, Russia, Philippines, China, and Canada, among others.

While the cobalt market is expected to witness a healthy growth in the forecast years, the cobalt market growth might be restrained by the increasing allegations of human right abuses related to the mining process, including child labour, which led to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), a major players in the consumer electronics market, temporarily suspend the purchase of hand-mined cobalt in 2017.
